HOTEL  ASTOR 

TIMES  SQUARE       NEW  YORK 

Wm.  C.  Mu3chenheim  Fred.  A.  Muschenhcim 


the  most  centrally 
located  hotel  in 

NEW  YORK 


RENOWNED  CUISINE 


1000  ROOMS  700  BATHS 


THE  success  or  disappointment  of 
a  visit  to  a  great  city  is  determined 
in  very  large  measure  by  the 
choice  of  a  hotel.  Particularly  is  this 
true  in  the  case  of  New  York.  New 
York  abounds  in  hostelries  of  every 
class  and  degree;  in  most  of  them  the 
guest  may  be  comfortable;  in  many  of 
them  he  may  enjoy  the  luxurious  sat- 
isfaction of  his  wants. 

But  the  American  metropolis  to-day 
affords  far  more  than  this  in  the  way 
of  hotel  existence.  In  New  York,  hotels 
have  undergone  an  amazing  evolution 
—  an  evolution  which  has  produced 
one  of  the  most  magnificent  and  bril- 
liant factors  of  modern  life.  Here  has 
grown  up  an  institution  new  in  the 
world— a  phenomenon — a  development 
— of  which  a  decade  ago  we  did  not 
dream,  and  which  the  capitals  of  Eu- 
rope do  not  equal. 

A  hotel  like  the  Hotel  Astor  is  far 
more  than  a  stopping  place.  It  is  a 
little  world  in  itself.  It  is  a  gathering 
place  and  epitome  of  New  York.  There 
are  many  places  in  which  to  sleep,  eat 
and  drink,  but  there  is  none  in  which, 
in  equal  Vividness,  to  see  and  feel  and 
be  a  part  of  the  soul  of  the  great  city. 


The  guest  at  the  Hotel  Astor  not  only 
finds  his  every  want  anticipated  and 
supplied  with  unceasing  attention,  but 
finds  himself  in  the  very  centre  of  the 
brilliant,  pulsating  life  of  the  city. 

Situated  in  the  heart  of  the  metrop- 
olis, in  Times  Square,  the  Hotel  Astor 
occupies  a  most  prominent  site  and 
contains  about  one  thousand  bed- 
chambers and  seven  hundred  bath- 
rooms. These  apartments,  singly  and 
en  suite,  are  furnished  with  the  great- 
est care  to  insure  elegance  and  home 
comfort.  Time  and  again  prominent 
guests  have  commented  on  the  atmos- 
phere of  refinement  which  pervades  the 
hotel. 

The  Hotel  Astor,  with  its  score  of 
dining  and  assembly  rooms,  is  the 
natural  scene  of  New  York's  most  im- 
portant functions.  Balls,  banquets,  con- 
certs, theatrical  performances — a  dozen 
or  a  score  a  day — fill  every  part  of  it 
with  constant  interest.  Hither  come 
representatives  of  the  big  business  in- 
terests to  meet  for  consultation.  Here 
are  held  receptions  for  distinguished 
foreign  visitors  and  ambassadors.  Here 
occur  great  National  festivities,  such  as 
the  banquet   of  the  Hudson-Fulton 


Celebration,  when  twenty-one  hundred 
guests  were  simultaneously  served  with 
ease.  The  cuisine,  wines  and  service 
are  unsurpassed. 

In  winter  the  visitor  moves  through 
corridors  made  resplendent  by  the 
gowns  of  ladies  on  the  way  to  ball  or 
dinner,  or  looks  down  from  the  prom- 
enade (encircling  the  hotel)  on  a  fas- 
cinating panorama.  In  summer  he 
mingles  with  the  throng  that  dines  in 
the  airy  Belvedere,  atop  the  hotel,  and 
spends  the  evening  with  a  thousand  fel- 
low-guests in  a  Roof  Garden  full  of 
fountains,  flowers  and  growing  trees, 
enjoying  the  breeze  and  the  star-light 
and  soft  orchestral  music. 

Imagine  a  ballroom,  the  largest  of 
five  great  halls,  the  size  of  an  opera 
house;  gorgeous  in  decoration,  with  a 
gilded  lattice  canopy  of  solid  bronze 
through  which  light  filters  down  in  soft 
radiance,  or  falls  in  cataracts  of  splen- 
dor, as  occasion  demands;  fitted  with  a 
disappearing  stage,  one  of  the  largest 
organs  in  the  world,  and  all  surrounded 
by  a  series  of  conservatories  and  recep- 
tion rooms  in  rose  and  laurel.  Such 
is  the  Hotel  Astor's  Grand  Ballroom. 


Imagine  a  tropical  court-yard,  stone- 
pillared,  roofed  with  a  trellis  of  grape 
vines,  cooled  by  a  marble  fountain  and 
shaded  by  orange  trees— it  is  the  Hotel 
Astor  Orangerie. 

Imagine  a  hotel  with  a  dining-room 
or  a  lounge  for  every  season,  every 
time  of  day,  every  mood,  every  occa- 
sion—a Hunting  Room  filled  with  tro- 
phies of  the  chase;  an  Indian  Room, 
where  walls  and  ceilings  testify,  in  the 
most  accurate  manner,  of  the  red  man; 
A  College  Room,  where  fraternities 
and  classes  may  meet  or  dine  amid 
congenial  surroundings;  a  Yacht 
Room,  a  Chinese,  a  Japanese,  an  East 
Indian  Room  and  Wine  Cellars  of  joy- 
ful atmosphere.

TELEGRAPH   AND   CABLE  SERVICE 

Offices  of  both  the  Western  Union  and  Pos- 
tal Telegraph  Companies  in  the  lobby  of  the 
Hotel. 

Deferred  Cable  Messages,  which  must  be 
written  in  plain  language  of  either  the  country 
of  origin  or  destination,  are  subordinated  to 
full -rate  messages  in  the  order  of  transmission, 
until  an  accumulated  delay  or  19  hours  has  oc- 
curred, when  they  take  their  turn  with  fully 
paid  traffic.  The  tariff  is  usually  one-half  the 
regular  rate,  but  on  deferred  messages  between 
the  United  States  or  Canada  and  the  United 
Kingdom  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland  the  tariff 
is  3  cents  less  than  half  rates. 

The  rate  for  regular  messages  to  England, 
France  and  Belgium  is  25  cents  a  word.  The 
address  and  signature  is  included  In  the  charge- 
able matter. 

Cable  Letters  and  Week-End  Letters  are  sim- 
ilar to  night  letters  in  the  domestic  telegraph 
service,  in  that  they  are  sent  over  facilities 
that  otherwise  would  be  idle  at  night,  and  de- 
livered the  following  day.  The  rates  for  Cable 
and  Week-End  Letters  are  on  a  message  basis. 
The  minimum  charge  on  Cable  Letters  is  for 
13  words  (including  a  necessary  prefix)  and 
on  Week-End  Letters  for  2  5  words  (including 
a  necessary  prefix).  The  tariff  varies  according 
to  distance,  but  between  New  York  and  Lon- 
don is  7  5  cents  and  $1.15  for  Cable  and  Week- 
End  Letters,  respectively.
